Register/Enroll for High School
Your student will automatically be enrolled in their "home" high school, based off of your home address. You can verify your information in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal (missoulamt.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/missoula.jsp), or by contacting your school's front office. If you need assistance logging into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, please contact the front office. Letters were sent out on October 27th to let families know which high school their student is attending. We have also given students an enrollment packet that should have been completed and submitted to their WIN teacher on Monday, November 13th.
Here is the link MCPS registration page.

High School Course Selection
School Counselors will be going into 8th grade HPE classes to complete this process (Check "Important Dates" below to see when this will happen). To begin this process, we will explain high school graduation requirements and look at courses offered at the high schools. We will be using this powerpoint as a guide to this conversation. We will also use the Montana Career Information System (MCIS) to have students take a career interest survey and begin looking at some potential careers. This offers a different perspective on high school course selection, as this tool can help them find out which high school courses are helpful to take for different career paths.
Also, at this website you can learn more about some of the different programs available at the high school (i.e., International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, AP Capstone Diploma, Career and Technical Education pathways).
